Writing to see if NLG can help us to spread the word about this camera drive we are running for the next couple of weeks.

My husband and I just returned from Israel and the West Bank where taught media workshops in the West Bank & Israel through our organization, Barefoot Workshops (www.barefootworksho ps.org).

In an effort to bring some balance to the one-sided reporting of matters, we feel it is imperative to give Palestinians in Gaza & West Bank a voice at this moment.

So we are raising money to purchase and send 50 Flip Cameras to the organization B 'Tselem, so that they can be delivered to
CIVILIANS in Gaza. B T'selem are "watchdogs" of the Israeli government,
and have been monitoring human rights violations of Palestinians in the
West Bank with a program called Shooting Back, equipping more than 100
civilians with video cameras there. Now is the moment to get cameras
into Gaza.

Because my background is media, I am doing what I can.... which is calling on everyone I know to ---

and/or HELP SPREAD THE WORD, because people are talking and educating their friends and relatives, and increasing support.

Please do what you can. And pass on this email & link to your members & friends.

Resulting
videos will be distributed to Israeli and international press. We
encourage U.S. media outlets who want to hear direct reports/video
blogs from Gaza to be in touch so we can share the results of this
project broadly.
